My first recommendation is to sell your car and buy a turbo. However, that aside, given that your car is of the naturally aspirated type, your biggest concerns are going to be around managing air flow. The easiest to start with is the nose and tail, namely the air filter assembly and the exhaust. There was a recent post on the NA 900 at the SOC with some impressive HP. You could take this as a model. Given your modifications or lack there of, I would not jump into the deep end right away and start with something more manageable. A full 3" JT exhaust will probably set you back about $750 including a race cat. The air filter assembly another $200 (go with something quality that emphasizes getting cold air into the engine). SpeedParts offers some nice exhaust headers that will continue to speed air flow. SPG9 does some nice big bore throttle bodies. However, bear in mind that the direction you take is a matter of preference and thus, you can and will receive an number of comments on what you should do. If you do still seek the higher performance levels, you eventually have to work on increasing the airflow through the head. However, my final recommendation is to sell this car and buy a turbo if you really want performance!
